Video Of Chester Bennington Shortly Before Death Teaches Important Lesson About Depression

The Linkin Park singer took his own life on 20 July 2017 and would have been 45 today (20 March).

He left behind six children and wife Talinda, who posted the video on Twitter in September 2017 with the caption: "This is what depression looked like to us just 36 hrs b4 his death. He loved us SO much & we loved him. #f***depression #MakeChesterProud."

Depression can manifest itself in many different ways, and often it is hard to identify at all. This is why it is so important to check in with your friends and loved ones.

She said: "We just thought he was okay.

"I can't emphasise [that] enough. If you knew Chester, you would know that he was in a good place, in such a good place.

"In some of the interviews he had given before he died he speaks about what was going on inside of his head in these dark moments and the fact that he was speaking about them was a huge step forward in his mental health."

Talinda has now paid tribute to her late-husband on Twitter, saying she and their children miss him dearly.
